Lecture delivered before the state board of agriculture, Middletown, 

 Connecticut, January 12th, 1870. General account; states that bedbugs 

 will attack bats and birds at opportunity, and that it also occurs in 

 poultry houses, and on dogs and cats, but gives nothing to support 

 statements. Believes the allied species but doubtfully distinct.
